A city witnessing the legendary life of an art master

The perspective of the film focuses on Florence under the influence of the Medici family "the great Lorenzo" Lorenzo de Medici, which is a well-deserved city of the Italian Renaissance. Under the influence of the Medici family, the cultural influence of Florence gradually penetrated into the social, political and economic fields, creating one of the most brilliant periods in the history of Florence.

It is in this artistic atmosphere that Botticelli created many famous artistic masterpieces such as Spring and the birth of Venus. He was protected by the Medici family to create freely, so those works which belong to Botticelli, which are full of humanism and secular spirit, came into being. During this period, Florence had not only great artists such as Botticelli, but also many unknown artists whose works were found in courts, churches, aristocratic private houses and the streets of Florence.

On the other side of the boom, however, disputes between the local church and the Vatican, and alliance choices between countries and regions are accompanied by complex power struggles and brutal violence. With the end of Lorenzo's rule, great political changes took place in Florence, followed by a regime replaced by religious extremism. The splendor of the Renaissance city, together with the works of art of the last era, was set on fire in the bonfire of vanity. Sandro Botticelli, the great artist, was unknown like the fallen Florence for the rest of his life until his death.

Under the leadership of Stephen Mangan, the invited commentator, this film returns to Florence of Medici, with chapters such as Lorenzo, Botticelli, Patch conspiracy, vanity bonfire, spring, hell, slander and rebirth as clues. Botticelli depicts the ups and downs of Botticelli, the last painter of the Florentine school.

the interweaving of time and space, telling the long history behind art

Botticelli's works can project Florence and the surging winds and clouds of this magnificent era more than anyone else, and his creative changes and life experiences witness the great changes in Florence's history. In the film, his works are presented vividly on the screen through the dynamic interpretation of Botticelli's paintings. When the audience is in the cinema, they can enjoy Botticelli's masterpiece immersively on the screen.

At the same time, in the film, the political changes of the city and the rise and fall of art and religion are also intertwined into a narrative painting, and the "beauty" of "art" is entangled with politics, power and desire. The Renaissance is one of the most important turning points in the history of Western Europe. This film strives for the big with the small and provides a new perspective of modernization for history. In this way, the audience can see a period of history and an era behind Botticelli's works. When the audience sees that artists and their art become the scepter of politicians and religion, and are constantly reborn under the protection of politics, they can also examine it and understand it through Botticelli's eyes.

As described in the film, Botticelli's value was revived by the pre-Raphaelites in the 19th century and continues to this day, in painting, photography, design and other fields, from Andy Warhol to Jeff Koons and Lady Gaga, we can see that Botticelli belongs to some part of it. His creation has been interpreted and re-created, and has become a new cultural symbol today. Admittedly, great works will continue to be mentioned by future generations, and their meaning will also be constantly reshaped. However, in the long river of history, there will always be a period of history belonging to Botticelli, and his works will be as immortal as his name.
